Comment 20 for bug 392798

I just found a module causing this behavior. That was lirc_imon crashing at bootup. Attaching dmesg log piece of the crash. I'm not using it at the moment so I just disable it and everything started to work very smoothly. Thank you all for this bug report. It provided me with valuable hints.

This is pretty long chain of events though:
- infrared driver broken and crashes on bootup
- devkit-power-daemon dies because of that
- half of gnome gui becomes unresponsive on bootup and at runtime

It seems to me that gui should be less dependent on health of power management and power management should be way less dependent on well being of individual modules and drivers.
How come devkit-power-daemon is so vulnerable to such external and remote factors? Is there a fundamental problem preventing it from being more robust?

Thanks again and it would be nice to see your comments.
